Power

[Will9]

The civilopedia still says power from coal plants causes +2 , but the city screen says that there is +4 from power. Then when I built the Three Gorges Dam, the power penalty dropped to +2 from power. Is there now a penalty from just having power in a city?

According to what I read in the Bugs-Sub of CFC that seems to be the case

So to avoid unhealth, it could be an idea to wait for hydro/ nuclear power instead of first building coal plants as before?

That's always been the trade-off for early power. You lose the coal health penalty if you later build a cleaner powerstation in the city.

Didn't notice that any power gave unhealthiness now but will look out for it.

I think Factories now give +1 for Coal and Oil even without a power plant.

Yes, but that penalty is listed as resources.
